Dare 2 Be DEAF

Dare 2 Be DEAF If you're not acting on your dreams or desires, you are deaf to your potential success! All speakers will be alumni of Lake City High School.

The purpose of โ€œDare 2 Be D.E.A.F.โ€ is to encourage students to Dream, Educate, Aim, and Focus. Every student has dreams of their own, but may be unsure of how to reach them. There are many Lake City natives that have successful careers and could serve as excellent resources and role models for helping students reach their goals in addition to the education they are already receiving at Lake City

High School. Learning about the experiences and successes of Lake City High School alumni will have a positive impact on current students and encourage them to take action towards their goals. For most students, obtaining a high school diploma is only the beginning of their journey to achieve their dreams. Other students may require additional resources and reinforcements to help complete post-secondary education. In some situations, students are encouraged to go to college, but maybe unsure of how to succeed once they arrive on campus. We want to provide a platform for Lake City High School alumni to relay their personal experiences on how they graduated from college and began their careers. This will help students relate to alumni that grew up in a similar environment. Talking to someone that has done what the students are trying to do will dramatically impact the studentsโ€™ lives and help them put their goals into perspective.

Thank you to everyone that supported our 3rd DARE To READ book drive! Your support has been invaluable in helping us achieve our goal to promote literacy in our community. With this effort we have donated 125 books to numerous schools in Florence School District 3 and early learning programs in Lake City. This project also features South Carolina native, Auntie Sierra - Childrenโ€™s Book Author. A big thank you to our top sponsors that each sponsored 10 books: Lake City High School Alumni Association, Cherish Harcum, and Unlimited Transformations!

Yesterday was magnificent as we engaged with students at Panther Academy Lake City to aid in their process of creating a vision board. These students are aware of opportunities ranging from education & careers, to helping their community, to traveling the world. Many thanks to Dramatic Coffee Beans, Inc. and all of our volunteers!
